    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    Great input by everyone! Thanks! If anyone is interested, I whittled some things down. This is the final build specs that I submitted this morning. Tentative build starts on 1/27 and delivery is tentatively scheduled for 3/10. http://www.porschecode.com/PPCL7BB2

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    There’s no question that the speed of every variant above RWD is awesome. For me, it came down to a 4S with some options or a pretty decked out (aesthetically, anyway) RWD. Besides, as I already mentioned, maybe lower trade-in value will encourage me to pay it off and then ADD a 911 to the...

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    I don’t have a great comparison because my first test drive was in August but the test the other day with the glass was very quiet. There is still some road noise but I’m guessing that comes through the chassis instead of the windows. I tried to make note of cars passing and there was very...

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    I’ll use it as motivation to pay it off and order a 911… or gently used Lambo. ?

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    I think you hit the nail on the head for my situation. I did take some of the suggestions here and whittled it down to $128k. Got rid of most of the exterior plastic, HUD, and a few other things. Just like you said, a 4S is attainable at my price range but without most of the interior upgrades...

    Oh RIGHT! I knew that and have played around a little bit but will give it another look.

    Are you referring to the Torque Vectoring?

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    That was basically my train of thought. For the same price as the GTS, I could get my dream 911 Targa.

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    Fair assessment. I will have a fair amount of highway driving so ACC is high in the list. Noted on the HUD - very well may drop that. The Sport Design package really only attracts me to it because it has the gloss black instead of the stock unpainted plastic but I can look at other options to...

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    Specs? Yes. Color? No. Not even close. It’s white… not even Carrera. ?

    RWD Build… am I “over building” a RWD?

    Long story short… I upped my budget from $115k-$140k. My RWD freeze date is in 2 days. My dealer has a GTS on the lot available (over budget but doable). Obviously, it’s my money, my choice and 1/2 will say stick with RWD and 1/2 will say GTS but my question is, is it possible to over-spec a...

    Porsche Intelligent Range Manager - Is it worth it?

    Will the car precondition the battery for optimal charging without the PIRM?

    First timer - 4S Build Feedback Request!

    As for home charging, you’ll want a Level 2 EVSE (often referred to as a charger but it just supplies the electricity while the onboard equipment charges the battery). Severally good options available but search insideevs.com for their comparison videos. I’m installing a Charge Point but there...

    First timer - 4S Build Feedback Request!

    Nice build. I’d consider putting the Porsche crest on the headrests, as mentioned above. I only have the front seats specced on mine. If there is room in the budget, definitely add ACC without InnoDrive and then that can be added later through a software purchase. A 3-month trial comes with the...

    Front and rear dashcam preparation option

    This is a great point. I wish it had GPS, speed, and inward facing cam on it but I think front and back will be sufficient.

    Front and rear dashcam preparation option

    My production isn’t scheduled for about another month so I don’t have any hands on experience… just watching a couple videos. Based on the videos, it looks pretty plug/play so I plan to do it myself. I’d consider installing the Blackview myself but haven’t researched it enough. My main concern...

    Can the car Preheat/cool based on location?

    I’ve watched several of the videos and read several threads on profiles and timers but haven’t found an answer. I’m guessing it is not possible. Is it possible to set a preheat/cool schedule without a charge profile/timer based on location? My work schedule is pretty erratic (both days and...
